The countdown continues to Friday’s official release of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN PT. 2, the highly anticipated final installment in the series of big screen adaptations of STEPHENIE MEYER’S best-selling teen novels. For hunky heart-throb TAYLOR LAUTNER, the films have been a training ground and opened the door to other opportunities. During the recent press conference to promote the film, LAUTNER seemed sincere in saying that he appreciates his time spent on TWILIGHT.
